Create rule

Create a new rule in your workspace using POST /dev/v1/rule. The request body must include name and type. The type determines which other fields are required:

• type = simpleRule — customInput, conditions (startNode + nodes), action (then / else), settings, optional firstCustomInput. Leave decisionTable rows/properties/results empty or null for a pure simple rule.

• type = decisionTable — customInput, conditions, decisionTable (firstRow, firstProperty, firstResult, rows, properties, results), action.then.outputData, policy, settings. Do not use ruleSet / ruleChain for the table itself.

• type = ruleSet — ruleSet (array of rule IDs), ruleSetPolicy, firstRuleChain, ruleChain, settings. conditions / decisionTable are typically empty.

A minimal stub (only name, type, dataSetId) is not sufficient to create a working rule. You need the full payload shape Nected expects—the same structure you see when you get a rule by id (minus top-level id / checksum on create).

Create rule

post

Create a new rule. Request body must include name and type (simpleRule, decisionTable, or ruleSet).

Use the Examples dropdown for a complete, copy-paste-ready payload per type. Create returns data.id and data.checksum (see 201 response example).

Body

application/json

Request body for Create rule. Must include name and type. type is one of simpleRule, decisionTable, or ruleSet.

The high-level shape is the same for all types, but which fields you fill vs. leave blank depends on the rule type.

Shared fields (all types)

• name (string, required): Rule name.
• type (string, required): One of simpleRule, decisionTable, ruleSet.
• description (string, optional).
• dataSetId (string, optional): ID of the dataset used by the rule (when applicable).
• customInput (object, optional): Map of custom input definitions keyed by input name.
• settings (object, optional): Common runtime settings (isEnabled, api, schedule, cache, dateFormat, timezone, etc.).
• dependencyMap (array, optional): Reserved for advanced use; usually empty on create.

When type = simpleRule

• Typically filled: conditions, action, customInput, settings, firstCustomInput (optional).
• Should be empty / null: decisionTable.rows, decisionTable.properties, decisionTable.results for pure simple rules.
• Rule set fields: ruleSet, ruleSetPolicy, firstRuleChain, ruleChain, policy are not used for evaluation of a pure simpleRule.

When type = decisionTable

• Must be filled: decisionTable (firstRow, firstProperty, firstResult, rows, properties, results), action.then.outputData, policy.
• Usually filled: customInput, settings, firstCustomInput.
• Must be empty / null: ruleSet, ruleSetPolicy, firstRuleChain, ruleChain.

When type = ruleSet

• Must be filled: ruleSet, ruleSetPolicy, firstRuleChain, ruleChain.
• Usually filled: customInput, settings.
• Must be empty / null: conditions, decisionTable, action output/actionNode fields as appropriate.
